“I cannot speak highly enough of this liner. I’m very, very fussy with ski boots. Huge ankle bones, tiny heels, 110mm lasts, Hugh volume arch and I usually spend 100-150 days a year in boots. I’ve been barred from talking about my feet with ski partners. This liner is the touring solution. I’ve had zipfit alpine liners for a few years, which revolutionized the comfort and control of my skiing (and have gotten 500 days out of the alpine liners already). These solve the endless touring liner problem. Flimsy foam liners don’t protect pressure points and pack out in 20 days. While these are heavy AF, they walk incredibly well. The walk feeling was very similar to intuition tours. I recently did a 70 mile ski traverse with many many flat miles and was thrilled to do it in these liners. The wool lining is also really nice when you inevitably sweat through the liner it remains warm. Getting them on and off can be fussy, but I put them on and them use a shoe horn to put my shells on. I also removed the two metal rivets that hold the bottom lace point and just ran the laces through the liner. The metal hurt my feet a lot. Easy task with some pliers and delicate hands. Unfortunately for my friends, I have become even more of a zipfit apostle than I was before. These are the best touring liners on the market by a country mile. You won’t win skimo races in them but I regularly do 6000’+ days in them and hang with my skimo friends no problem. Amazing amazing amazing. They drive my 115 underfoot 1900g powder skis and my 1100g 90 underfoot cambered corn skis very very well. Most ‘alpine feeling’ I’ve had skiing in the backcountry ever. Thank you zipfit for finally making something that’s heavy, stiff and walk well.”

“Simply the best made touring liner out there. I have low volume feet and have struggled with getting my ankle locked in well. Having the option to add cork and customize the fit is huge. I take the laces out and then it is easy on and off. Even if I have the liner in my boot already.”

“Boot: Tecnica ZeroG Tour I have yet to find another liner that skis, skins and generally feels as nice to wear in AT boots as these do. The snow feel/feedback are greatly improved compared to stock liners, which I attribute to both the OmFit material, and simply the added mass of the liner. As with the ZipFits I use in my alpine boots, the heel/ankle hold with these is impressive, although I do wish that the liners came with a larger amount of OmFit in them from the factory. Even when sizing down, most touring boots on the market today are based off of high-volume lasts that are not conducive to heel/ankle retention. I'm in an aggressively sized AT boot and had to add a tube of OmFit to each tongue, and another one to each heel/ankle bladder (2 tubes per liner) to get the support I needed. It's easy enough to add extra OmFit, but given the volume and how people typically size AT boots, it's puzzling to me that this liner comes with so little stock. The only truly negative thing I have to say about the liners when compared to a closed cell foam type liner, is that they are impossible to dry in a winter camping/expedition setting. After 11 nights of camping on the glacier, despite fastidious efforts to dry my liners (removing footbeds, putting them in the sun in the afternoon, sleeping with them in my sleeping bag) they were soaked. They still skied well, but it made for achingly cold mornings and took over 4 days of sitting in a 72 degree room in front of a fan to be fully dry to the touch once I returned from my trip. For single day tours, or backcountry lodge trips where you have access to a boot dryer every evening, I don't think you can find a better touring liner, but for basecamp or traverse type trips, I think I'll keep a pair of Intuitions handy.”

“I run these with a Dynafit Radical Pro while touring, guiding, & freestylin' and my feet are as happy as ever. The biggest plus is that this liner enhances the flex of the lightweight, stiff, and thin plastic of touring boots, giving some feel back. Though slightly heavier than foam liners, the experience is just more pleasurable. I found these were quick to becoming comfortable, breaking in more easily than my previous Corsas. I haven't even really conformed them properly, I just run them under the foot heaters in the car on the way to the mountain, and that does the trick for me. I for sure plan to use this liner with any and all of my touring boots for years to come. *Sidenote: I was using a ski boot horn to skip these bad boys into Zero G boots, which made life easy. With the Radical Pro they slip in fairly easy.”

“The GFT liners hang with the big dogs. I went from a stock dynafit bladder in the Hoji Pro tour with 2 years of use to these bad boys and have had a major uptick in confidence. The GFT makes the Hoji an actual hard charging boot. Small losses in weight and range of motion create big wins for ski ability and overall comfort, as well as warmth. While the GFT is a little tricky to slip into the dynafit shells, it makes the boot so much better I barely blink an eye. Skiing is always fun, however, skiing with good fitting boots is always more fun..”

“I have been skiing in the Tetons for the past 25 yrs and have gone through many backcountry setups. The combination of the atomic 130 xtd shell with the GFT liner is by far the best touring setup I have experienced. I have been using zipfit liners since 1994 and find them to be the most precise fit on the market. I am so glad that zipfit finally built a liner dedicated to hiking, skinning and down hill performance.Now I don’t have to switch my stealth liners, which are great four touring also, back and forth between my boots. I did notice the new flexion point sewed into the back of the liner while skinning. Great job on building a liner that does everything!”
